I don't think you do find the debate interesting. If you did, you would probably focus on the argument more than me. There might have even been a google search to see if catharsis studies exist and if they support what I'm referencing. You may have found articles like this:

Nevertheless, if we're not going to talk about the argument, if the focus is still going to be on me, then I need to help you better understand what I am and what I can do for you. If you'll bare with these next few paragraphs, I may even succeed in articulating just that.
I'm under the assumption that most people don't want to be foolish, that we rather be told not to pee into the wind rather than learning why that's solid advice the hard way, and most also don't have time, energy, or desire to double check all of the assumptions and beliefs we've formed so far in our lives. Considering your reaction to a simple to reference to my experience in a community college class, I'd be willing to bet money you're someone who has little time, energy, or desire to do double check your own assumptions and beliefs. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you've actually clicked those articles and gobbled them up to satisfy some genuine curiosity and true interest in determining the value of catharsis and how it may apply to your life. But if I'm right and you're like the majority of people, then that puts you in an interesting position.
On one hand, checking out psychology-related books from the library and browsing articles online is not realistic. Enrolling in psych classes probably seems even more ridiculous, particularly with the cost. Nonetheless, there's a whole field of people working to better understand what people need to live more happily, successfully, etc. You may save yourself the headache from a whole lot of reading but you miss out on a metric ton of information - some of which is potentially life changing.
Fortunately, there are alternatives. There are people like me who are happy to bring up what we've learned to help ourselves remember what we've learned,
to experiment with ways of presenting what we've learned to help other people be free of any maladaptive assumptions (false assumptions that cause us problems), and most importantly, to give people who don't have the same investigative inclinations a chance to learn parts of what those of us who do have learned.
What you have here is an opportunity. This opportunity has educational prospects, such as through asking me to paraphrase studies and their results for you, like the studies on catharsis, and it also has prospects for continuing with what you've done so far in using what I'm showing you to insult me, use sarcasm, etc. Either way, I'll be pleased. If you do insult me, ignore me, say "too long, didn't read", and the like, I'll have fun pondering away about what compels you to think and respond this way. I'll ponder about what aspects of this are within my control for helping you make better use of someone like me and maybe I'll even learn something! Better yet, you could be the one who learns something.
